Impact of the XML vulnerabilities for Kata Containers
Hey Team, In case you have not seen it yet, a new vulnerability in how Go handles XML has just been disclosed: https://mattermost.com/blog/coordinated-disclosure-go-xml-vulnerabilities/ I suspect that we are indirectly impacted by this, although I have not read the disclosure in details yet. From a very cursory search in our code base, it looks like several vendored components may be directly hit. I don't see any immediate risk, in the sense that I don't think we expose any XML interface. But I may be wrong. What do you think? Thanks Christophe
Hi Christophe, Thanks for bringing this to our attention. You are right, we don’t expose any xml interface in Kata. The affected go package mentioned is "encoding/xml" and we do not vendor that in any of our Kata components. So, I don’t think we are impacted by the vulnerability.
